I love the Rogaris Law office soooooo much. Trying to coordinate a Purchase of a condo and a Sale of my condo to purchase new said condo at the same time with additional legal docs like Use and Occupancy and Purchase and Sales has been a dream with these guys. They glide over the speed bumps and I don't have to panic because I know, they know, the real estate law business better than anyone I've ever met in my life - and as a top realtor I've met A LOT. I'd never personally use another law firm .... EVER and now I refer them to everyone I know buying and selling and I get credit for their hard work making me look like a superstah. EVERYBODY LOVES ROGARIS LAW! Anne Mahon read more

Jennifer (Jenny) Stathakis, attorney at John Rogaris Law Office, was referred to me by my Realtor. She represented me and my lender in a dual capacity. I was very impressed by her responsiveness and professionalism. She answered all my questions about the closing process to my satisfaction and was quite meticulous and diligent to make sure that all the i's were dotted and the t's were crossed. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone considering her and her firm as their real estate attorney. read more

We have worked with John Rogaris Law office on several real estate transactions. His office was highly recommended to us by our realtor when we purchased our first house in the Greater Boston area. His office staff were very attentive and made home-buying a smooth process for us. So, we worked with John on selling our house 12 years later. We had a difficult buyer to deal with and this buyer backed out of the deal on the closing day. John worked on and off hours to guide us through the post "failed closing" process and to help us get a litigation attorney. Because of John's attention to the details in the P&S terms, we were able to get the buyer's deposit. John had always negotiated better terms with the other side's attorney in either our purchasing or selling P&S. He was also very frank with us if a certain term or condition we asked for would be difficult for the other side to accept. Overall, we have had very positive experiences with John's office and definitely will recommend it to others. read more

I can't say I had an overly pleasant experience with this law firm over the past few days. I was trying to facilitate and escrow refund check that was due to me and they made me wait an additional day before allowing me to come in an retrieve the check. When the appointment was finally scheduled and confirmed they made me come in during rush hour. When I arrived the office building was old and unwelcoming. When I called and told them that I arrived early they were very agreeable but then they were lost as to what my nature of business was. I was there to turn in a smoke certificate and get my escrow return back but they insisted I was there to drop off a 6d. Generally frustrating experience dealing with them. read more

John Rogaris helped us to purchase our house. The attorney didn't prepare everything until the last minute. And they were lying when the closing wouldn't be on time partially because of them. I don't recommend them since they are busy and don't take care of your case very well. read more

We were referred to John by our lender. John basically got to work and saved our deal when it was on the brink of collapse so I'm not sure what kind of higher praise I can say here. Without going much into the details, he basically went above and beyond to clarify issues between us and the seller and worked a bit further on the deal terms themselves. He was very meticulous in going through the documents and sent countless emails back and forth with us to clarify all subject matters we had questions on. I would highly recommend John and his team no questions asked. read more

We were referred to Jennifer Stathakis, an attorney in this practice, by our agent. Jenny is pleasant to deal with and technically knowledgeable about the mechanics of real estate transactions (although she was not up to date on Airbnb regulations restricting potential owners in nearby Boston). As long as there are no issues that arise during your transaction you'll do fine, but what real estate transaction ever goes off without a hitch? Jenny is conflict averse to a fault (quite odd for an attorney it seems to me) such that she will not advocate for your position when a disagreement arises, preferring instead to reflexively insist that the other party would never do what you ask or even talk to her about whatever the issue is. That's the easy way out and doesn't serve clients well. Perhaps she sees her role as limited in this manner and has chosen this type of practice for that reason, but if I hire an attorney I want someone who will make my case for me forcefully if the need arises. I would look elsewhere next time for that reason. read more

We are very happy in our new house and would recommend him to friends and family. Lilly read more

I cannot recommend this law office highly enough. I worked with attorney Jennifer Stathakis on selling my condo. It was my first time going through the process as a seller. Not only was she incredibly patient, helpful, and quick to respond to my questions, but her professional expertise helped us to successfully navigate a closing which took many turns and much longer than expected. The closing costs were a fixed price known up front (very reasonable!) and Jennifer and the firm staff stayed on it keeping the same attention to detail and professionalism throughout the entire 4 month process. If I ever have further real estate needs in the Boston/Waltham area, I will definitely be using them again. read more

Smug, condescending, and incompetent! I was better off looking up legal documents online and going through the process myself! If you desire haphazard legal work combined with no interpersonal skills, this guy is for you. read more

BEWARE!! DO NOT USE THIS OFFICE!! If I could give zero stars, I would. John Rogaris is, by far, the least professional attorney I have ever used. I was referred to him through a mortgage lender and real estate agent who both rec'd his services highly to close on home. With a referral, I anticipated an attorney who would have the same character and professionalism as those who worked with him - however, I would deeply disappointed with all of his services. Once hiring him to assist in closing on my first home, I called his office to speak with John Rogaris, to not only introduce myself (as I had not been contacted by him for 1 week after I hired him) and begin the legal process of closing on my mortgage and P&S. He acted very rude and annoyed on the phone when I asked basic questions about how he would like to proceed, and encouraged me to "email him" because he was very busy with other clients. With this succinct and abrupt demeanor, I chose to only work with him via his associates in writing, as he did not make himself available anytime in person or on the phone. Upon the week before signing the final paperwork, I called John directly to ask why he or his associates had not contacted me to explain what I needed, should be prepared for, or complete any missing paperwork (that I had noticed was missing, not his office), he became very defensive and combative on the phone. He acted already extremely upset that I had the "audacity" to call him a week before closing and ask him questions that I should asked weeks ago, stating, "I always make myself available 24hrs a day, 7 days a week." Not sure what this man's problem is, but when I tried to get ANY guidance from him, he continuously tried to shrug me off by saying he'd email the answers later (later, I found out, was that he sent me attachment of basic forms he found online answering my simple questions about title insurance, condo laws, and HO6 insurance). The day before I closed, as I did not receive a clear answer from him on any of my answers, I called and asked him to review the generic forms he sent to me, in which he became very abrasive. He stated that he "did not have time to go over everything," "does not baby his clients and review every question asked," "has over 300 clients" and "offered" me to use another attorney to complete my closing -- less than 24hrs before my scheduled date. I not only would never use John Rogaris Law Office again, I will never recommend him, his associates, or anyone linked to him in any type of real estate venture. 100% unsatisfied, offended, and disappointed with his lack of professional, attentiveness, and overall demeanor. read more
